What day to test after ivf 5dt ??

[Bouncytree]

Hi everyone, driving myself a bit crazy here. I’ve had a 5dt on a frozen cycle. Would love to test but also super scared of negative!

I’ve read on lots of chats the 9dpt is a good time to test, but can’t find any info on why. Can anyone shed any light? Or know some resources?

I am currently 10dpt and OTD is Monday which is 13dpt for bloods. I want to test before that so I can process it, but don’t want to risk negative but also dying to know!!

I think I remember the advice from the hospital was to test 11 days post transfer.

Well 9dp5dt is technically 14DPO when most womens period would be due in a standard 28 day cycle. So on this day pregnancy tests are almost 100% accurate

I chose to test at what I think was 9dp 5dt. My theory was that I only wanted to test once so I needed to be at a point in time I would accept the answer. I didn’t want to be left thinking ‘Oh but maybe it was too early, perhaps if I try again tomorrow…’. I also tested when I could have a bit of time to process it before needing to be around other people.

Thank you all that’s really helpful!

We are going to test tomorrow. With is 10dpt so hopefully safe enough

Hoping fir the best!

Baby dust to you all.

Thanks everyone for your help.

Negative thu morning. I’m assuming that means it’s fairly certain I’m out? I know it not 100% confirmed till the blood test. But don’t want to be hanging on to hope if the odds are slim.

Sorry to hear that @Bouncytree

What kind of test did you use? If a FRER or other very sensitive test with FMU then, sadly, I agree with you that it’s likely a true negative

Thanks @123walrus that’s really helpful, as feeling in limbo. It’s an internet cheapie, but sensitive to 10iu/l.

Wasn’t FMU, but 2MU as I did a wee at 5am when I woke.

I’ll try again tomorrow to be sure, but concluding it’a true negative.

Needless to say my clinic won’t comment till bloods.

@Bouncytree could you go out and buy a FRER? I think that at this stage that would give you a definitive answer even if not FMU so long as you held for 3+ hours.

Thanks So much @123walrus.

Do you think just They might be a bit more sensitive? Or reliable? I’d have hoped it would show up on the 10iu/l.

If this was a natural cycle and was I 14dpo I would definitely think I’m out. Just seems more complicated!

As a day-after-transfer-and-thrice-daily-since sort of girl, I’d say that it seems unlikely at this point if you’ve had a negative.

Really sorry to hear it. I know the heartache.

Kudos to those who have the strength to test once. I always felt that early testing took away the massive sadness as it was lots of tiny maybes, if that makes any sense at all.

FRERs are a tiny bit more sensitive and reliable than the internet cheapies. I think the main point is that you’d know for sure and can begin move on one way or the other.

(Fellow IVF-er here so I know how hard it is)

Thanks @123walrus that makes sense and good idea. I held out till this morning, and did another test with FMU. Negative, which feels quite Final so at least I can begin to accept it.

Thanks @LividLaVidaLoca I read your message yesterday and was very helpful. I just needed to be put out if my misery! I knew deep down, but you just hang on to hope. I know what you mean about the lots of little maybes. It’s not one big blow. I have no idea how I help out this long. If we were trying naturally there is now way I would have!

I guess I just thought it would work. It was a PGS cycle, so was a euploid embryo, so feels a bit harder to accept.

Thanks everyone for your support. I guess it’s in to the next cycle!

Wishing you all well with your journeys.

Really sorry to hear that @Bouncytree

@LividLaVidaLoca You sound like a pro at serial testing. How early did you get a line? X
